ON OUR RADAR

Welcome back to On Our Radar, a music feature where the team at Reform select their hottest tracks of the week. This week we’re delving into the realms of Hardcore Post-Punk, Soundcloud Rappers and Jazz guitar to bring you the crème de la crème of music.

STELLA TALPO

Italian singer and songwriter Stella Taplo just released a new EP on DeepMatter Records, dissecting topics such as self-destructive behaviour and self-acceptance. Her unique take on R&B and Soul has seen her land on playlists such as ‘Fresh Finds UK & EU’ on Spotify, as she continues to embark on her musical journey to stardom.

PETROL GIRLS

Post-Hardcore Punk band the Petrol Girls latest album ‘Baby’ just dropped and it’s a cut-throat, feminist masterpiece. Rooted in DIY music culture which has a strong relationship with politics, their music challenges the political and social norms. Confronting capitalism, nationalism, gender binary and advocating for freedom of movement through yelled vocals and piercing guitar riffs, one step at a time.

MEEKZ

Manchester rapper Meekz has blown up on Soundcloud after the release of his latest track ‘Airmax’s’, with 13.7K likes to date, scoring him a place on the Soundcloud charts.

VTSS

If you don’t know VTSS, she’s the queen of hard-hitting Techno, impeccable production and getting the crowd going. She’s played at just about every festival and venue under the sun and now, she brings yet another side of herself to the table, reinforcing just how eclectic she is as an artist. Unlike her previous tracks, ‘Make You Scream’ is electro-pop, driven by a vocal hook and synth chords that are undeniably catchy.

JAMIE LEEMING

Guitarist Jamie Leeming explores the human experience of memories in ‘Resynthesis’, carving his place as one of the most sought after musicians in the field of Jazz . Leeming was said to have set himself a timescale to write this album, posing himself with questions about how we process memories, such as “How do memories relate to our sense of identity and who are we as people?”.
